@ThatsNonpossible I just hope people really think about each composer experiencing life differently and using those experiences to reflect music as a part of themselves. Whether or not motifs are similar, each piece is delicate in it's own way and should be treated as such. Not a reflection of another composer, but as a reflection of the person who is taking the time, energy and strength to put out something completely unique in its own right.

I think it's unfair to compare composers and artists in general. When I listen to Kentaro Sato pieces, I hear only his emotion and his connection to the text and melodies and how each vocal line has a melody that somehow creates a piece as a whole. When I listen to other composers, Whitacre, Lauridsen, E. W. Barnum, Part, Tavener, Joshua Shank, and Stroope, I don't listen for similarities. As a composer myself, I feel that there is something demeaning about comparisons to other composers.

Yes, all the male voices are Kentaro's, and the female voices are mine, April Amante :) He recorded me in his apartment studio, one part at a time.

Hmm, I wonder whose voice this is.... :)

I hope you're doing well Ken P! I miss the old days!

I hear more of Symphonic sound, Copland, and Japanese traditional music than Lauridsen. One thing for sure is that Lauridsen won't write all those moving lines!

I think this work, especially Gloria and Sanctus are masterworks!

Pretty, but extremely derivative, mostly of Morten Lauridsen.
